1. Which locking system should you recommend for a facility in which there is a need for a reasonable level of security and which would give you the capability to periodically change around locks to reduce the risk of compromise?

Explanation

An interchangeable core pin-tumbler system is recommended for its security level and ability to periodically change locks. A standard key-in-knob lock system may not offer the same flexibility. A combination lock system can be cumbersome to change frequently. A magnetic stripe card access system may not provide the necessary security features for this situation.

7. Glass which is often used for security and safety purposes as it is stronger than regular glass and more resistant to heat is:

Explanation

Tempered glass is specially treated to increase its strength and thermal resistance, making it a popular choice for security and safety purposes. Frosted glass, acrylic glass, and laminated glass do not have the same level of strength and thermal resistance as tempered glass.

Submit
8. How can the penetration resistance of windows be significantly upgraded?

Explanation

Laminated glass is specifically designed to improve the penetration resistance of windows by holding together when shattered, making it difficult for intruders to gain access. Regular glass, plastic film, and tinted glass do not offer the same level of protection as laminated glass.

Submit
9. What is usually the weakest area of a window?

Explanation

The glass in a window is typically the most vulnerable to breakage or damage compared to other components such as the frame, screen, or lock.

Submit
10. Which type of glazing has the most distortion and is the most vulnerable to breakage?

Explanation

Sheet glass is the type of glazing that is most prone to distortion and breakage due to its thin and single-layered structure. Tempered glass is stronger and less prone to breakage, laminated glass consists of multiple layers for added strength, and insulated glass provides thermal insulation.

Submit
11. Which of the following locks is the most widely used?

Explanation

The pin tumbler lock is the most widely used due to its effectiveness, ease of use, and widespread availability. Magnetic locks, combination locks, and padlocks are also common but not as prevalent as pin tumbler locks.

Explanation

Door sensors can detect unauthorized entry attempts and alert the homeowner or security system, making them an effective way to reduce door vulnerabilities.

Submit
13. Complete the following statement: UL standards require that a safe...

Explanation

UL standards require that a safe weighing less than 750 lb be anchored to ensure safety and prevent tipping over.

Submit
14. Which of the following UL safe designations would be most appropriate for the storage of computer back-up media?

Explanation

UL safe designation 150-4 is specifically designed for storing computer back-up media due to its fireproof and secure features. The other incorrect options do not provide the necessary protection for such valuable data storage.

Submit
15. Non-insulated security containers must pass a drop test of:

Explanation

Non-insulated security containers must pass a drop test of 30 feet to ensure their durability and security measures. This specific height is considered an industry standard for evaluating the resilience of such containers.

Submit
16. The acceptable vault construction of insulated doors is a minimum reinforced thickness of:

Explanation

In vault construction, insulated doors require a minimum reinforced thickness of 6 inches to ensure proper security and insulation capabilities. Options 2, 4, and 8 inches would not meet the necessary requirements for vault doors.

Submit
17. What are the two critical elements of an AC&D system?

Explanation

An AC&D system focuses on the transportation and display of data, making data transportation and display the two critical elements.

Submit
18. Which type of IDS installation makes it more complex for an attacker to disable the entire system?

Explanation

Point to point IDS installation involves implementing monitoring nodes at different critical points of the network, making it harder for an attacker to take down the entire system by just compromising one point.

Submit
19. Using coaxial cable to transmit video without amplification limits the transmission distance to what length?

Explanation

Coaxial cable has a limit on the distance it can transmit video without amplification, usually around 1000 feet. Beyond this distance, the signal may degrade and result in poor video quality.

Submit
20. What is a cost-effective means of signal transmission for multiple alarm sensors terminating at a central station?

Explanation

A multiplexed circuit allows multiple signals to be transmitted over a single shared connection, reducing the overall cost while ensuring efficient signal transmission for multiple alarm sensors.

Submit
21. In an electronic protection system we find that:

Explanation

The correct answer highlights the cost-effectiveness of using microwave transmissions in an electronic protection system, which may not necessarily be the case with the incorrect options provided.

Submit
22. To protect communications, when wiring has to go outside the facility, what is the recommended installation method?

Explanation

Installing wiring underground provides better protection from environmental elements and potential damage compared to above ground installation, leaving it exposed to air, or wrapping it in cloth.

Submit
23. What is the most widely used method of controlling physical access?

Explanation

Locks are the most commonly used method for controlling physical access as they provide a physical barrier to entry.

Submit
24. Which of the following entry badge systems is effective in reducing counterfeiting, loss and theft?

Explanation

The exchange badge system involves swapping badges regularly to prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized access. Barcode badge systems can be easily duplicated, RFID badge systems can be intercepted and copied, and color-coded badge systems can be visually replicated.

Submit
25. Which entry badge system would deliver the best level of security for a small population working in a facility which processes precious stones?

Explanation

A smart card offers a high level of security due to its unique encryption and authentication features, making it the best choice for valuable items like precious stones. Other options like a barcode scanner, a handwritten logbook, or a PIN code reader would not provide the same level of security and can be easily compromised.

Submit
26. Which of the following entry control methods would work best when there is a need for a high and rapid throughput of a large workforce population?

Explanation

A proximity card system allows for quick and efficient entry control due to its contactless nature, making it ideal for a high and rapid throughput of a large workforce population.

Explanation

The correct answer highlights the potential privacy and comfort issues that may arise when using hand-held metal detectors, particularly in sensitive situations such as when the searcher and the person being searched are of different genders.

Submit
28. Which method limits the number of keys that can be issued?

Explanation

Master keying limits the number of keys that can be issued by allowing for a hierarchical system where certain keys (master keys) can open multiple locks while individual keys can only open one specific lock.

Submit
29. Which of the following methods would likely be ineffective in searching a gas (petrol) station for improvised explosive devices?

Explanation

Canine olfaction is highly effective in detecting explosives due to dogs' superior sense of smell. Visual inspection by humans might miss hidden or small explosive devices. Metal detectors can only detect metal components, not all types of explosives. Randomly selecting bags to inspect is not a systematic approach and may miss potential threats.

Submit
30. In a facility where a large number of locks are used, and where certain individuals have broad and variable access requirements, which of the following might represent a viable solution?

Explanation

Master keying allows for a hierarchical system of access where a single key can open multiple locks while still maintaining unique keys for individual locks. Access control cards, combination locks, and biometric scanning may not be suitable for situations with broad and variable access requirements.
